Founder, Chronolio
Stephan Dreyer is the founder of Chronolio and co-owner of The Venue Paarl, a wedding venue in South Africa's Cape Winelands. A civil engineer by training, he left corporate work to run the venue's operations and systems — and built Chronolio after watching Nicole's wedding timelines outgrow every Google Sheet he threw at them. He builds the product side of the platform, turning real event-day pain points into software that saves planners hours every week.
